Sharing data between Windows Phone applications

I’m looking for the easiest and most elegant way to exchange data between two separate Windows Phone applications.

For example, I have two applications:

  • Input.app - an application with an input field and a button "Save"
  • Read.app - application with a label and a button "Read".

A use case will look like this:

  • The user opens Input.app, enters something into the input field and clicks the "Save" button.
  • User closes Input.app.
  • The user opens Read.appand clicks the "Read" button.
  • The label will be filled with the data stored in Input.app.

Note

I am not looking for a solution where it Input.appcalls Read.app(e.g. using Tasks). In addition, I'm not looking for a solution that Input.appstores data on the Internet, but Read.appreads data when the application starts.

Is it possible?

No, not now. The default applications are sandboxed and you cannot break the sandbox. There are only two ways to interact between applications, but none of them will work for you (using URI files and file extensions).

Isolated storage is isolated, hence the name. Unfortunately, there is no “common" repository, even between applications made by the same publisher.
